2025 HILT Conference, "Learning Now: Strategies for a Changing Landscape"

As higher education continues to respond to rapid shifts in technology, student expectations, and financial constraints, how can we design learning experiences that are both impactful and practical to implement across various contexts? The 2025 Harvard Initiative for Teaching and Learning (HILT) Annual Conference builds on previous years’ themes that explored open inquiry, generative AI, and student collaboration. Through a mix of plenaries, panels, and hands-on sessions, participants will engage with current challenges such as generative AI integration, implementing active learning in large courses, facilitating inclusive dialogue in the classroom, and adopting new educational technologies. With multiple session formats and tracks, the conference is designed to meet the diverse needs of faculty and staff — offering space to reflect, connect, and return to your work with new insights and concrete strategies.
